A Wayward Journey

Wow!  Team McAllen did it again.  What a day!

Al, one of the Team McAllen members, had managed to arrange an interview with the local TV news crew.  And we had managed to make contact with a local middle school teacher who invited us to present to her class.  The two were destined to meet.

The cameras rolled as we pulled into Liberty Middle School, said a quick hello to the principal, then dashed off to the classroom to talk with the kids.  After so many months away, it was great to be back in a classroom!

But then the principal turned everything around when she presented us with little goodie bags containing Liberty t-shirts, jackets, hats, notebooks, and pens.  Gosh – what an unexpected treat!

From school we made our way over to Taco Palenque, where you can find the best Tex-Mex food in the valley. We all stuffed ourselves with cheese enchiladas and bottomless chips & salsa – YUM!

Before we knew it, Al was back to take us over to Laura & GJ’s house for a barbeque with Team McAllen.  It was great fun to chit-chat with so many people. And the food was delicious! 

It was nearly 2:00 in the morning before we finally made it back home and collapsed into bed.  I don’t even remember a day this busy and hectic and wonderful!
